During the quarter our iesaons have led us into four labels: 1. Canaan, where Isaac lived, from whieb Jacob fled, where Joseph was sold. 2. 'Mesopotamia, where Jacob fled. 3. Egypt, where the :ration was raised up. 4. Arabia. the land to which Moses fled and where he received his cal), to deliver Israel. We have studied the lives and the Charaeters of three great men: 1. ,Tacos. • a man of prayer and faith, who gained ei signal victory and received a great blessing. 2. Joseph, aman c.f integrity, 'who became great. 3, Moses. Study (11 the training, (2) the character, (3) the influence and power, and (4) the suc- cess of Moses. "God's people were, 1. Persecuted. To the person. of Joseph .by iris brothers, and later, in Egypt, the :lescenrlants of those same brothers hatod and oppressed by the Egyptians. 2, Protected, As was Joseph by the divine power, and us was Israel through the ,sprinkled brood. 3. Victorious. Joseph overeonting his en- emies, Israel triumphant, PRACTICAL TEACHINGS. A heart that is reaching out after Clod will surely find him. When God changes one's name there is a significance in it. The evil designs of enemies often work in a direction opposite to the one intend- ed. Faithfulness even in prison is not unappreciated. Man could r.•Itrai well have managed the affairs of Pharaoh and Jacob as did God even againsir man',s devices. No wrong against man is inn great to be forgiven: God'; people fall into difficulties but he promises them grace to stand. Clod know where to find the "proper child" to train for the pe- culiar service that was demanded. There ie safety in faith and obedience. Tf we have God's presence with u, we can at- tempt great things for .Ilian. Had there been no opplloseion there could ha re been no deliverance. Gori permits His people to be brought into difficult places et times that He may show His love and power. Illustrations. Prisons have been among the ntost pro- fitable places for God's people. Banyan whilo in prison wrote his "Pilgrim's Pro- gress;" Samuel Rutherford used to date his letters, "Christ's Palace, Aberdeen jail." -Illustrative Notes, A fine example of reverence for Cod is found in the conduct of a great scien- tist as related by A. Bodge. He says: "When a boy in Princeton. College it ;THE RIGHT PAINT TO PAMNT RIGHT Market Reports -or- The Week.

When for the first time electric signals were sent from point to point, the earth itself being used for the return current, Professor Henry put me at .one end of the cir- cuit, while he stood directing the experi- rents at the other. I can well remem- be•: with what care he arranged all his principal experiments; when he ap- proached the solution, the experiment was repeated over and over again. Then he called upon me to uncover my head and worship in silence, 'Because,' he said, 'God is here. I am about to ask God a question.'" Practical Applications. Three names stand out prominently in the lessons of this quarter, and from their characters and acts some practical truths may be drawn. I. Jacob. 1. A warning. The condi- tion of Jacob on this journey was brought about by his selfish and deceit- ful conduct toward his brother. Here is a picture of one, through divine pro- mise entitled to the blessings of a frist- born, fleeing in fear, from the one whom he had. wronged. He had introduced so much of human scheming into the affair, that he came to feel its bitter effects; while if he had implicitly trusted God, he would have escaped the humiliation. as, is altogether better to let God work out the problems that belong to him than to introduce our own schemes. . A revelation. God is so merciful that he does not leave us in the pit into which we have fallen, though it may have been dug by our own hands, if we have a genuine desire to get out. Jacob saw more during that night at Bethel than he had ever seen before. He saw himself in a new light, end he caught a glimpse of the glorious resources of heaven. When a. human heart swishes that stage.: 'where he be- comes sick of selfish ambition" and de- sires God, he will receive a revelation that will be at once astonishing, abund- ant ant and satisfying. 3. A new name. Al- though 'Jacob had succeeded front a so- cial and financial -standpoint, a crisis came when he realized that he must re' ceive a blessing which as yet was not hie. He prevailed and became a "prince' The same biassing is in store for every one who will prevail as Jacob did. IT. Joseph. 1. Sincerity. This is one of the most noticeable qualities of this unstained character. Re may have erred in telling so freely the dreams that, he had, but if so he did it out of his art- less simplicity. One of his brothers might have dreamed the same dreams and told them as freely as Joseph did. but Joseph would have been too sincere and innocent to be unfavorably affected by them. Men vary in sincerity natur- ally, but the impartation of divine grace will make us all sincere. 2. Patienee.'ihe conditions of life that Satan imposes upon us with a view to our destruction will, through the power of divine grace according to our faith, work in us a degree of patience that will qualify in for life's activities. 3. liouor. It was not Judah nor Simeon that attained to honor in Pharaoh's court, but it was „Joseph, their victim. The character that Joseph possessed would bring honor to hint anywhere. Those who seek honor among men fail to secure the honor that cometh from God only. Those who honor God with their thoughts, their words sad their acts will receive honor from Him. Joseph tack the course he dill, not to ,c pure tate honor that cants, to him later, but because he chose to obey Clod. In Moses. 1, Preservation. From first to last Moses was the Hain of the hour. It would be idle to attribute his being kept alive to accident. God's pro- vidence set a train of events in action that gave to Egypt and Israel' a Moses. Pharaoh had one thing in mind in the training of :hoses, but God had a very different one. Choice. He chose "ra- ther to suffer affliction, ..than to enjoy the pleasures of sin." We have induce- ment, presented to us again and again to be identified with the world. We have to choose between the reproach of Christ and the pleasures of sin, between the jays of salvation and the empty ,jos; of earth, between the riches of God':• grace and the uncertain riches of this world. We are encouraged by the choice that Moses trade to make a similar one. 3. Discipline. The choice was immediately followed by forty years of discipline. eI' was. constantly comforted by the can• scionaness of having made the light choice, and was in a, position to endure the things that befell hint . Moses et eighty was better fitted for leadership than Moses at forty. ile who maintains his favor with God year in and year out is undergoing discipline,, and is increasing; and ripening in .Christiate experience.

WON'T ` ACTe SAN FRANCISCO COM,IiTITTEE' OP SEVEN RESIGNS. San Francisco, May 2i The commit- tee of seven .appointed by the five com- mercial organizations of Jean Francisco to takeover some of the power of Mayor Schmitz resigned last night. The rea- son assigned by the committee for with- drawing was that it had been unable to secure the co-operation of Rudolph Spreckels and Francis J. Haney, who are the head of the graft investigation. The commission was to have acted in advisory capacity to the Mayor, and the latter had promised to carry out what- ever it recommended. ATTEMPT TO WREC TRAIN. C. P. R.

Travellers out with fall lines report that they find bustneas men generally hopeful, and that there is no sign of failing off:in oonsuntptiom In most lines of business the season wan opened with very light stocks in retail- ers' hands and. although buying was heavy during the first quarter of the year, there were many factors whiols tended W prevent any dangerous over- purohasing. The grocery trader is active, heavy shipments being made bn water. The demand: for goods in the West is large, and it is equaly so in Northern Ontario. All lines of hardware are in brisk demand, a natural result of the in- dustrial activity in all parts of the country. Money is but little freer than it has been for some weeks. Winnipeg -Trade is showing some im- provement here and throughout the west although tate retail movement is not yet brisk.
